At Safeguard Insurance we recognize the unique technology challenges that business owners increasingly face. That’s why we have developed comprehensive Cyber Liability Insurancepackages to help combat these threats.

About Cyber Liability Insurance

Nearly every business collects some information about their customers such as names, addresses, credit cards, SSN, etc. Most of the time, that that information is stored on a computer system or website. Every computer system or website is vulnerable to malicious attack. The repercussions and cost of dealing with a data breach can be overwhelming.

Regardless of the size of a given business, many face some sort of faulty computer transaction and on average, at least one computer security breach per year. No business is safe from computer-related vandalism and oftentimes these problems generate significant financial losses. Consider the following statistics, provided by the National Cyber Security Alliance:

77% of small businesses do not have a written internet security protocol for employees.

Over 60% have no written policy regarding employee use of social media related to work.

Nearly 60% of businesses do not provide any internet safety training and do not require multi-factor authentication for network access.

Only 50% of small businesses completely wipe old computers before disposing of them.

Over two-thirds of business owners allow employees to use USB thumb drives to transfer data between work and home.

60% of small businesses that face a data breach go out of business within 1 year.

Most security breaches have involved attempts by criminals to acquire sensitive company information, usually concerning their customers or employees—common businesses that are targeted for such theft include:

Retailers (including online retail),

Wholesalers,

Banks & mortgage lenders,

Law firms,

Hospitals,

Medical offices,

Service and sales organizations,

And many others…
